Got the same when stracing Skype (32-bit app on 64bit system):
pa...@galileo:~/bin/skype$ strace ./skype --enable-dbus --use-system-dbus 2>
/home/pawel/down/tmp/skype.log
[ Process PID=7200 runs in 32 bit mode. ]
*** glibc detected *** strace: malloc(): memory corruption (fast):
0x017467d
Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: strace
System: Kubuntu 9.04 (amd64, updated from 8.10) with backports and
proposed repositories enabled.
When I'm trying to strace firefox, strace crash due to memory corruption:
pa...@galileo:~$ strace firefox 2&>1 > firefox.strace
*** glibc detected **
